Serre weights for quaternion algebras

Abstract

AbstractWe study the possible weights of an irreducible two-dimensional mod p representation of ${\rm Gal}(\overline {F}/F)$ which is modular in the sense that it comes from an automorphic form on a definite quaternion algebra with centre F which is ramified at all places dividing p, where F is a totally real field. In most cases we determine the precise list of possible weights; in the remaining cases we determine the possible weights up to a short and explicit list of exceptions.
